        <p>&quot;Heels fissures,&quot; another name for cracked heels, are a quite common foot 
condition.[1] In this study an attempt has been made to study the effectiveness of Homeopathic 
Medicine Graphites30 and Individualized homeopathic medicines in the cases of cracked heel 
in age group of 18-70 years. Aim &amp; Objective:1] To Study Effectiveness of Homeopathic 
Medicine Graphites30 and Individualized Homeopathic Medicines in cracked heel in age group 
of 18-70 years. 2] To find out the most commonly prescribed Individualized Homeopathic 
Medicines in cracked heel. Material &amp; Method: 30 samples with cracked heels were consider 
according our inclusion criteria and divided into two group: Experimental group was given 
Graphites30 while control group was given individualized homeopathic medicines and “SPSG 
Scale” was utilized for treatment assessment. Participants with a history of diabetes, 
hypothyroidism, taking steroid treatment, Pregnant and lactating women were excluded. 
Result: By using Unpaired t test calculated t value (-1.6345) which was less than table value 
of t (2.05) hence Null hypothesis is accepted. Conclusion: In these study Individualized 
Homeopathic Medicines (5.26) shows more improvement in cases cracked heel than Graphites30 
(7.06) on the basis of “SPSG Scale” (Six Point Special Grading Scale)</p>
